About Direct Relief

Direct Relief is a humanitarian organization, active in more than 80 countries and all 50 U.S. states, with a mission to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergencies. Nongovernmental, nonsectarian, and not-for-profit, Direct Relief provides assistance to people and communities without regard to politics, religious beliefs, or ethnic identities.

Since 1948, Direct Relief has provided assistance to locally run healthcare facilities and projects by supplying them with specifically requested and appropriate pharmaceuticals, supplies, nutritional supplements, and medical equipment. Direct Relief’s assistance programs focus on maternal and child health, the prevention and treatment of disease, and emergency preparedness and response, and are tailored to the particular circumstances and needs of the world’s most vulnerable and at-risk populations.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, Direct Relief is focusing on the four key areas of activity:

1. Providing assistance in the form of personal protective equipment, or PPE, for health workers.

2. Building an ICU medication model and mobilizing private resources to build a stockpile to assist with the anticipated spike in ICU patients.

3. Boosting support to safety-net facilities to address existing chronic gaps that are likely to grow.

4. Collaborating with infectious disease epidemiologists, technology companies and public agencies to use aggregated mobility data to support the COVID-19 response.
